This page describes the flow matrix of the NMS/Shacache/Wendelin

General description

The NMS (a.k.a. SlapOS master), shacache and wendelin services are ERP5 based services. It means that to provide those services, we actually deploy a full ERP5 that will then be customized to do a specific service.

A ERP5 is provided by the following SlapOS services :

  • default (main SlapOS instance)
  • kumofs (x2: volatile and permanent)
  • mariadb
  • zodb-zeo
  • zope (xN: one service per zope family)
  • balancer
  • wcfs
  • jupyter

Those services are usually running inside a theia (SlapOS IDE) which can be simple or resilient.

If the Theia is resilient, the architecture is like this:

  • theia0 : hosting all the production services
  • theia-pull-backup : hosting the historized daily backup
  • theia1: hosting all the failover services (the services are stopped in the theia1 by default)

Usually, theia0, theia-pull-backup and theia1 are running on separate physical machines. Sometimes, theia-pull-backup and theia1 can run on the same machine. Of course there is no point in putting all in the same machine. If you have only one machine, use a simple theia.

Incoming traffic

We will show in the table below the incoming connection on all 3 theia for ERP5 services:

Theia SlapOS Service From Destination IP Destination Port Traffic Type Purpose
theia0 DEFAULT frontend DEFAULT-IPv6 8196 https web server of the monitoring
KUMOFS-PERSISTENT frontend PERSISTENT-IPv6 2004 https web server of the monitoring
KUMOFS-VOLATILE frontend VOLATILE-IPv6 2014 https web server of the monitoring
MARIADB frontend MARIADB-IPv6 45679 https web server of the monitoring
ZODB frontend ZODB-IPv6 2101 https web server of the monitoring
ZOPE-1 frontend ZOPE-1-IPv6 random https web server of the monitoring
ZOPE-2 frontend ZOPE-2-IPv6 random https web server of the monitoring
[...]          
ZOPE-N frontend ZOPE-N-IPv6 random https web server of the monitoring
BALANCER frontend BALANCER-IPv6 random https web server of the monitoring
frontend BALANCER-IPv6 2151 https ZOPE-1 access
frontend BALANCER-IPv6 2153 https ZOPE-2 access
    [...]    
frontend BALANCER-IPv6 2151+2*N https ZOPE-N access
WCFS (nothing non local)          
JUPYTER frontend JUPYTER-IPv6 8196 https web server of the monitoring
frontend JUPYTER-IPv6 8888 https access to Jupyter lab
THEIA frontend THEIA-IPv6 3000 https vscode GUI
frontend THEIA0-IPv6 8386 https web server of the monitoring
theia-pull-backup THEIA0-IPv6 22200 ssh SSH access for backup
theia-pull-backup THEIA frontend THEIA-PULL-BACKUP-IPv6 8070 https web server of the monitoring
theia1 THEIA frontend THEIA1-IPv6 8386 https web server of the monitoring
theia-pull-backup THEIA1-IPv6 22210 ssh SSH access for backup

Note1: theia-pull-backup is responsible for launching the copy of the data from theia0 and to theia1 thanks to rdiff-backup over SSH.

Note2: in default mode, all services of theia1 are stopped. If you trigger take over, the NMS services that were running on theia0 will run on theia1 (hence all incoming traffic for NMS services must be allowed on theia1).

Outgoing traffic

The list below describes outgoing traffic for all machines involved in NMS/Shacache/Wendelin

  • SlapOS client:
    • https traffic to frontend (to reach the NMS)
    • https traffic to frontend (to reach the shacache for sotfware release upgrades)
  • OS upgrades : https traffic to package repositories
  • NTP
  • DNS
